Bai Qingzhu smiled faintly.
Her smile was ethereal and pure, elegant like a chrysanthemum, touching one's heart unwittingly.
Lady Xiao watched her and, aside from her profession, felt a fondness for this woman.
Xiao Lijin had also gone out, and Bai Qingzhu began to administer acupuncture to Madam Xiao.
The Xiao Family had used this method before; it had been very effective initially but became less so over time, which was why Bai Qingzhu insisted on doing it this way and why Lady Xiao had been so opposed.
However, she noticed that the acupuncture points Bai Qingzhu targeted were different from before. Being an outsider, she didn't recognize these specific points.
Bai Qingzhu started to explain, "Madam Xiao also has quite a bit of dampness in her body. Logically speaking, for a family like yours that usually takes good care of their health, why would Madam Xiao's condition be like this?"
Madam Xiao felt much better and let out a sigh, "It's not their fault. Everyone is so busy on a day-to-day basis. Though I have servants to look after me, don't I love to garden and eat purely green produce?"
Lady Xiao, somewhat helpless, replied, "Even if you wish to eat purely green food, we have other people in the family who could do the gardening for you."
"Well, it gives me something to do, a little business to tend to, but I didn't expect it would come to this..."
No wonder!
People from families like theirs aren't skilled in farming. Plus, the fatigue of everyday life probably distracted them, and over time, the issue became serious.
"Don't worry, Grandmother. The problem isn't serious. Just entrust your body to me, and I assure you that your legs won't hurt at all. However, let's make things clear—while the pain can be alleviated, it's not possible to cure the herniated disc completely. As long as you follow my instructions, there should be no relapse," Bai Qingzhu said sincerely, gaining Madam Xiao's trust almost instinctively.
"Young lady, do you have a boyfriend?"
Having treated many elderly patients, Bai Qingzhu was accustomed to such questions.
"Not yet."
"So, you're not married either? You just met my grandson, a truly distinguished individual with remarkable abilities. How about I introduce him to you?"
Although Lady Xiao was quite satisfied with Bai Qingzhu, the uncertainty about her background made her intervene quickly:
"Mother, I've already arranged a meeting with the Dongfang Family. In a few days, he's going to meet their granddaughter."
"Just meeting doesn't ensure success, and besides, how many times have those two seen each other? If there were any affection, they'd already be together, no need for us to fret over it. I think Qingzhu is a lovely girl."
Bai Qingzhu felt a chill in her heart. She had no desire to marry Xiao Lijin. The thought of competing with men as her love rivals if she were with him was unbearable.
She silently grieved for the Xiao Family for a few minutes. Surely they didn't know that the grandson they took such pride in was gay!
The acupuncture session took half an hour, but it was just the beginning.
Bai Qingzhu gave them a prescription, instructing them to procure the medicine and return to prepare it for Madam Xiao to drink. She also reminded them that she would continue with the acupuncture for the next ten days before leaving.
Xiao Delu hurried over to ask, "Miss Bai, how is my mother doing now?"
"She might have slept poorly previously due to the pain, but she's asleep now. Also, you must do exactly as I've instructed and monitor it closely. With your cooperation, Madam Xiao's issue is no issue at all."
